Comeback With a Vengeance - BMW E21 323i - Project Castellón: Part 3
Added 2021-10-13 22:18:23 +0000 UTCFresh off the editing block, part 3 of project Castellón!
The glorious turd lives! This car was a proper struggle to get running, but what a result in the end. Lots of troubleshooting and fixing in the episode!
Buckle up for another hour-long adventure!

Great video ♥️ Does the E21 M20 engine have the same valve for the idle control as the E30???

2021-10-18 22:12:34 +0000 UTCThis episode is probably the best so far. From an emotional perspective. It felt like a family member coming back to full health after a long illness. Cheers, Sreten. This is going well.
2021-10-17 02:44:59 +0000 UTCThis was an outstanding vid man!
2021-10-16 15:02:25 +0000 UTCReally looking forward to seeing with a good clean up and restoration of the interior
2021-10-14 22:38:42 +0000 UTCPlease clean the car with dry ice. Inside and out.

2021-10-14 21:52:48 +0000 UTCThis was definitely the best one so far, such a struggle, with such a big reward! Hope you can fix the cold start issue... I am sure you will! Thank you Sreten for being awesome.

2021-10-14 16:39:54 +0000 UTCPossibly the best M539 video yet!
2021-10-14 15:50:44 +0000 UTCGreat job - thank you so much for another great video! Do you have any timeline on the E32? For some reason, it's my favorite!
2021-10-14 13:48:26 +0000 UTCWow that is just amazing, I was genuinely happy when the car started! As always I must say, your mixture of mechanical, entertaining and editing skills is unique around whole Youtube 👍

2021-10-14 12:23:51 +0000 UTCThank you, Michel, I tried 6 samples so far and none are a close match. You are right, the color of the car is more on the green side, not sure which color they used back in 2000 when you had it repainted. But I'll see what can be done.

2021-10-14 12:23:23 +0000 UTCthat the colour was a little bit strange; a few years later one of my best BMW friends bought a 325i same colour, but if you compare the two cars the delphin grey were not the same; a possible reason could be during the painting process, my car followed another colour, more green oriented, and the cleaning process when you change the colour, was not properly done, meaning that my delphin is more green ; just to give an idea on the paint...
2021-10-14 12:20:17 +0000 UTCBest car series on Youtube. LOOOOVE it! You make me want to buy a 635CSI! Cant wait for the next one. Proper diagnosis going on on the 323. Keep it up!
2021-10-14 12:16:03 +0000 UTCAbout the Marbais project, Sébastien told me that you have a few questions with the colour of the E30 320i, Delphin grey: you should know that we have always suspected since the beginning in 1983, th
2021-10-14 12:15:07 +0000 UTCLoving this series, absolutely brilliant to see it coming back to life
2021-10-14 11:03:40 +0000 UTCWell done! Excellent outcome. Testament to your skills and dedication
2021-10-14 08:58:17 +0000 UTCwhat’s the news about alpina? when it’s coming home? 😄
2021-10-14 08:50:46 +0000 UTCYet another great video and great work. Really enjoyed it. Thank you,
2021-10-14 08:20:54 +0000 UTCWho says you can’t polish a turd..amazing work.
2021-10-14 06:36:52 +0000 UTCWhat was the book you had to read for the Bosch fueling system (Jetronic?)
2021-10-14 04:09:31 +0000 UTCThis one was fantastic!! Amazed to see the health of the engine!
2021-10-14 04:09:04 +0000 UTCJust love it! You do such great work and it's nice seeing this alive again!

2021-10-14 03:00:49 +0000 UTCSuper satisfying! The music you played while showing the results of the compression tests sounded like you just beat a level in a video game, what a battle! 😁😎

2021-10-14 01:15:24 +0000 UTCThat speaker under the dash is the alarm that sounds when the door is open while the car is running. It's annoying AF. Just a high-pitched "WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" My advice is either replace it with a newer "ding, ding, ding" piezo or leave it disconnected.
2021-10-14 01:12:32 +0000 UTCAbsolutely incredible! Congratulations!

2021-10-14 00:37:27 +0000 UTCAwesome episode Streten! Excellent detail and information!!! I love your enthusiasm and determination to get this oldie running. I really like the BBS/MAHLE wheels! Just need to think about lowering the car just a bit, or at least find out if that is the way the car sat back in the 70’s.. I personally don’t remember them like this. Thanks again!
2021-10-14 00:30:32 +0000 UTCT'would bring a tear to a glass eye
Mr John Quinn
2021-10-13 23:51:37 +0000 UTCExcellent, fantastic episode. Are you going to do a full restoration on the inside? I saw the work you did on the other projects and the inside was perfect, it woudl be wonderful to see this looking good inside again.
2021-10-13 23:46:04 +0000 UTCIt is a good one.
